Canada: Halifax Girl Is Made to Submit to Islam in Aikido Class

Islamic immigration puts free women’s rights and safety in the crosshairs. If allowed, misogynous Muslim immigrants will put western women in chains here just as they have done throughout dar al-Islam.

The situation: 17-year-old Sonia Powers was told she had to surrender to the wishes of the new Muslim student in her martial arts class that she be segregated because of her gender. The affront took place in a publically funded community center, so it has the perceived blessing of the government.

SunTV host Brian Lilley has been analyzing the issue and how it shows the weakness of Canadian culture to attacks, where the rights of women are not defended out of a liberal idea of accommodation to diversity or something.

It’s not just Canada which is knuckling under to the demands of hostile Muslims. Daniel Pipes has been compiling a list of Muslim Hours at Municipal Swimming Pools in the West around the world that notes instances in America, specifically Seattle, Rutgers University, Portland, Baltimore and elsewhere.

As Thomas Mann remarked, “Tolerance become a crime when applied to evil.”

My initial reaction was, “I bloody well won’t get used to it,” but now I realize I may not have a choice. Gender segregation and other unreasonable accommodations will happen more and more, but not because I want it or you want it. It will happen because of cowardly political leaders and bizarre, twisted human rights commissions that no longer believe in real human rights.

Look at the York University decision.

A male Muslim student in an online course that required some group work asked not to work with women. This wasn’t a group program that required contact, he wouldn’t have to hug the women or even be alone with them.

The professor said no, the student thought about the professor’s reasoning and the student decided the prof was right.

The university administration and the Liberal provincial government say the prof is wrong and the student must be accommodated.

These two accommodations on their own will not change the face of Canada, but as they say on the infomercials — wait, there’s more.

We already have what are essentially Muslim-only swims at public pools across Canada.

Windows are blacked out, change rooms are locked and male lifeguards relieved of duty so men and women cannot swim together nor see each other.

It’s an Islamic accommodation, one that happens across the country, including my neighbourhood.

In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that Muslim women can testify in court with veils over their faces, denying the accused the right to face their accuser in an open court.

In Canada, the right to a fair trial is secondary to religious accommodation.

We allow veiled voting which can only encourage voter fraud. The Conservatives did try to ban this when the issue came up a few years ago, but that was during their minority government days and the Liberals and NDP blocked it.

Canada, and the western world in general, needs to find its backbone, it needs to regain its cultural confidence that stood for basic rights for all.

In the 1840s, when Sir Charles Napier was governing a large part of India, he is said to have witnessed an attempt to practice suttee, the burning of a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre. His response could instruct us today in standing up for our principles.

“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them.

“Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”

We need to find that backbone again before Canada is no longer recognizable.
